The Housing Advisory Board met
with College of Arts and Sciences
faculty members Thursday to discuss
housing issues that the board should
target this semester, said Peter
Topping, board chairman.
The issues emerged primarily from
a survey conducted last February of
campus residents that concerned the
quality of life in residence halls. The
results were tabulated last summer.
"Students are by and large satis-
6
fied," said Topping.
But students expressed worries
about noise levels, problems asso
ciated with studying and security in
the survey, he said.
Faculty members are concentrat
ing on building a more intellectual
environment in the residence halls
and increasing security, said Gillian
Cell, dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences.,
Topping said security is always an
issue, and efforts are being made to
tighten up security in residence halls.
But Topping said officials also want
to improve security on campus so
students can feel comfortable walking
at night.
In addition to the discussion of the
survey results, Wayne Kuncl, director
of housing, outlined the structure of
University housing processes for the
faculty members present.
Topping said there is a lot of
misinformation among faculty
members about on-campus housing.
For example, he said a faculty
member voiced concerns that fresh
men were being placed in triple rooms
that were not adequate for three
students. This has happened in the
past, but has not happened recently
because of increased space, Topping
said.
The Housing Advisory Board was
established by the Division of Student
Affairs. Seven students serve as
members, including the student body
president and Residence Hall Asso
ciation president. Faculty members
and housing officials are also
members of the board.
Mlcial awareness grouip to sponsor f oram

Members of a new group formed
to promote racial awareness have
announced plans for a forum involv
ing representatives of UNC's black
and white Greek systems.
The forum, sponsored by Racial
Awareness through Campus Interac
tion And Learning (RACIAL), is
tentatively "scheduled for the third
week of February. Participants will
discuss segregation within the black
and white Greek systems.
Christopher Mumford, founder of
RACIAL, and group member Nick
Judson said that the organization's
goal is the establishment of racial
awareness without the creation of
animosity.
Mumford said he wants to target
the UNC Greek systems because they
are the "most tangible forms of
segregation on campus."
Group members said that personal
frustrations and disgust at existing
racial conditions and student apathy
prompted the formation of the
organization.
Before forming RACIAL, Mum
ford said he consulted with Harold
Wallace, vice chancellor of University
Affairs, and Hayden Renwick,
former associate dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences.
Renwick, who recently left UNC
to become special assistant to Fayet
teville State University Chancellor
Lloyd Hackley, said that no progress
can be made until the racial situation
is acknowledged.
"This kind of dialogue could bring
out the fact that there is a racial
problem (at UNC)," Renwick said.
"Frank discussion, airing concerns in
a public forum is the initial step
towards racial understanding.
Keith Hersey, a Black Greek
Council representative, said that the
racial problem needs to be discussed.
"A need exists because there are
a lot of hidden racial tensions," he
said. "There needs to be an organi
zation for open discourse.
The tone of the forum should be
educational rather than derogatory,
Hersey said.

"I hope the basis of the forum is
informational rather than finger
pointing,' he said. "Chris (Mumford)
is trying to look at the problems and
why they exist so that we may
progress from there.
"I dont think there is overt racism
as there was in the '60s. This campus
is desegregated, not integrated."
Keith Clark, president of Alpha
Phi Alpha fraternity, said that he
views the planned forum as a rea
sonable new approach to the racial
problem existing at UNC.
"Black students are aware of a
racial problem and try to address it,
whereas white students are not
conscious that a problem exists,"
Clark said.

council in November, said the refer
endum could be a victory for the
CGLA.
"I have a personal reason to believe
in the ultimate wisdom of the voters,"
he said.
Mark Donahue, editor of the
CGLA newsletter, Lambda, said
CGLA members should make their
voices heard in Student Congress.
"This is our University and this
Student Congress is our Student
Congress," Donahue said to the
crowd. "We must be at every single
(congress) budget hearing to make
sure our rights are observed."
Several other speakers, including
former student body president Bryan
Hassel and Black Student Movement
President Kenneth Perry, spoke
about the referendum.
Donahue said Sunday he was
extremely pleased with the turnout
for the march. He said the partici
pation of heterosexuals, non-CGLA
members and the different student
groups was a positive sign.
"It shows that this isn't an isolated
debate," Donahue said. "There are
other groups that are willing to take
a stand."
